Be it known that I, PHILIPBHARTMANN, a; citizen of the United States ofAmerica,

residing in New York, in the boron h of- Manhattan, county and State ofNew ork,

have invented certain new and useful Im-- provements in Non-RefillableBottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved non-refillable bottle by which therefilling of the bottle with spurious liquid is effectively prevented;while the liquid can be discharged in a steady and uniform man-i ner;and for this purpose the invention consists of a non-refillable bottlewhich is provided in its neck-portion with an inwardly-projectinshoulder, acylindrical valve-containing'body seated thereon, saidvalve-containing body being provided witha lower seat. and an upperseat, a cupshaped valve for the lower seat, and. an'

inverted cup-shaped valve for the upper seat-said valves being guided oncentral stems in the valve-containing body', as will be fully describedhereinafter and finally pointed out'in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 improved non-refillable bottle,Fig. 2- is a similar section, showing the bottle in inclined positionfor pouring out the contents,

the valves beingin open position for persection on line3, 3, 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, it represents a bottle and b the cylindricalneck of the saine.

In the neck of the bottle a is arranged an inward1y projecting shoulderonwhich is seated a cylindrical valve-containing body d,

which corresponds in size with the interior of the neck and which iscement-ed into the same after the bottle hasbeen fillediwith themedicinal or alcoholic liquid forcwhich it is intended. Thevalve-containing body a? is preferably made of glass, but can. also bemade of aluminum, hard rubber or other suitable material. Thecylindricalbody d rests by its lower end on the shoulder Z7 and. isprovided with two inwardly-proqecting annular seats d 0Z of which theower seat d serves forsupporting a cupshaped 'valve 1;, while the upperseatd Specification o1 Letters-Patent.

with a crossbar at the upper end of the,

Svalve-containing body'd and extended into a central cavity 1 of thevalve f, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. When the bottle is inupright-position, the valves 6, f rest on their I seats a (Z and-preventthereby the ingress of any' liquid or the introduction of any instrumentor toolby which the valves may be held in open position'for refillingthebottle; while when the contents of the bottle are to be poured andthe bottle is tilted,the valves are supported on theirstems e3, f

leaving a sufficlent space around the same for permitting the free exitof the liquid in the bottle through the perforated diaphragm e andaround the valves 0' and f.

As soon as the bottle is replaced inupright position, the valves seatthemselves instantly in a reliable manner on their seats without beingin contact with their respec-;

tive stems.

By means of the non-refillable, attachment, the bottle cannot berefilled as the I valves v cannot be tampered with, the upper invertedcup-shaped valve forming a guard for the lower cup-shaped valve; whileby the simplicity of the construction the nonrefillable attachment canbe supplied for bottles .at a comparativelylow price, so as to becapable of introduction for various .purposes in the trade.

I claim: 1 v 4 1-. A non-refillable bottle provided with aninwardly-projecting shoulder in its neck,

body inserted. into the neck and seated on edgeof the upper seat, adiametrical bar at the'up'per end of the valve-containing body,

hollow portion seated on the upper seat, a

ing central stems extending respectively from the center of thediaphragm and diametrical bar into the cavities of the valves. Intestimony, that I claim the foregoing as my-invention, I have signed myname in 15 presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
